I particularly hate that it was he who fell. Of course I do not want anyone to fail, but this guy took heat and faced the wrath of every half-cocked critic and armchair scholar out there. I so wanted him to succeed. <br /><br />The moral of the story is: Do NOT STAND AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN TO THE EDGE! Abraham pitched his tent in the desert, but lot pitched his toward Sodom and Gomorrah. In the course of time he paid a heavy price, as will Joel Osteen. Lets hope he gets away as easily as Lot did, with at least the opportunity to repent.Representativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811793207369399757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492959717318141169.post-78771260024050128772020-11-05T22:18:53.168-08:002020-11-05T22:18:53.168-08:00I agree, that no matter what happens or which dire...I agree, that no matter what happens or which direction this election goes, things are only going to get worse. We've been feeling very pressed to get up & go, especially over the last few months. I struggle with impatience because I don't want to be where we live, when "it" really hits the fan. <br /><br />My favorite scripture for times like this, "Fear not for I am with you, says the Lord." Isaiah 41:10<br /><br />I couldn't imagine going through all this without God. I find myself having to soak in worship & praise music. <br /><br />Great post <3 <3 <3 Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05293237646584507620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492959717318141169.post-38814853239379773772019-02-15T17:59:35.423-08:002019-02-15T17:59:35.423-08:00....

"<br /><br />I have always wondered how people gage the earnings of pastors. I don't see anywhere in the Bible that says they can't become wealthy & prosperous. Regardless of what I've said to defend them though, it's always met with statements like "they are greedy if they have that much money" ... isn't that professing to know their hearts? As far as I know, only ONE knows the hearts of man & that's God, Himself. <br /><br />GREAT post, my friend!!! I need to go back to reading.

I think that the book of 2 Timothy has the scriptures and as I read I thought of. <br /><br />2 Timothy 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they breed strifes. <br />This one is when people ask questions to rile up believers as well as when say Jim Bakker of Jim and Tammy Faye...said that until he had been to prison he had NEVER read the Bible completely. He was a leading tv Christian for millions yet completely deceptive and deceived. <br /><br />2 Timothy 3:8b So do these also resist the truth, men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.<br />Good people are reprobate if they resist the truth. <br /><br />2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine but, after their own lusts, shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned to fables.<br /><br />This is the sad situation of many as we are in times of me and how important I am...no judging etc.<br /><br />Thank you so much for this post.

However, when a man and woman apply for and are hired for the same position they should be paid equally. Women are getting less just because they are women. It's wrong. Base pay should be the same regardless of gender. Raises and promotions should absolutely be on ability, skill, knowledge and performance. <br />And I agree that I wouldn't be wasting my money on an employee that can't or won't do the job exactly the way I want/need it to be done.Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05293237646584507620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492959717318141169.post-70031027427894381992015-05-01T12:43:49.516-07:002015-05-01T12:43:49.516-07:00Thanks. :) Yeah, secretly I'm hoping ol'...Thanks. :) Yeah, secretly I'm hoping ol' Bill will read it,, too. ;)<br /><br />Live long and prosper.<br />Representativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811793207369399757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492959717318141169.post-32678200222745202872015-05-01T12:20:04.615-07:002015-05-01T12:20:04.615-07:00Well THAT was a great read.

I'm so sorry! I didn't see your post ...Hi! I'm so sorry! I didn't see your post until just now. <br /><br />We are Christians, so we decided to go for a nativity set up. I put it on the top shelf of the entertainment center (it's built into the trailer). We like some lighted decorations, so I found a long string of somewhat natural looking, green "pine" garland, and I tied lights and pine cones on it with florist's wire, and hung it up over the slide-out. I hung all the old sentimental family ornaments and home made ornaments right on the garland, and we hung stockings on both ends of the slide and next to the windows in the slide. (We had 5 people here at the time.) <br />We made peanut brittle and maple candy, and I wrapped some and hung it, too. <br />Also, I have a nice Hurricane lamp from Lehmans. I use it often, but it has a specially warm feeling about it at Christmastime.<br />We didn't put anything decorative outside. We just didn't get around to it. I may do something this year, but if I do it will be a wreath and ribbons or something like that.<br />As far as preparing food, we didn't do the traditional food, either. We aren't huge turkey fans, so we made a roast and potatoes and green beans. I did add some trimmings: desserts, rolls, relish trays, but I prepped them up the day before for the most part. I cooked my main food outside over hot coals in big cast iron dutch ovens. We've been doing that for several years. It started because I wasn't sure how to fit everything in indoors. The oven is small and so is the cook top and the counter top. We enjoyed it SO much that we always do it now. It gives us a lot more time together, relieves my workload somewhat and it was just great family time.<br />Sorry this is so long. Anything specific you want to ask, I'll do my best to answer. We don't have it all down pat, but we're on our 4th year, we've been successful, we've adapted in every regard, and we still like it and each other. :p<br />Thanks for coming over.
